Hello Martin, sorry you have not had a response here, but a mail to the Eventiders could have got you an instant reply, well it would have done after I returned mid July! An Eventide 24 weighs in at 2 tons max, early ones with lighter keel and smaller motors 1.5 tons. You can hire trailers or drop i...

The same goes for the Eventide, if conditions are really choppy, backing the head sail or in real extremis, putting the motor on, but that I have only done once or twice because I was close to a sand bank and dare not bear away! Agree with the 15 degrees of heel too, MG told me the Eventide should n...

hello there welcome to the Forum! whats the name of the Eventide? Is it one we know i wonder and have info on..... The website has really become the place to go for all things Eventide, http://www.eventides.org.uk. though there are a few books that can help too, see the books page of the site. hope ...

Sorry to those who have not been able to join in recent months, we were hit by a rather nasty Spammer who inundated us with Russian websites. The Webmaster has found new security measures adn opend the Forum for users again, I will put a note on the main site. For the forseeable future all those tha...

Sorry folks but the forum has had to be partially disabled to prevent the mindless Spammers covering it in rubbish. We had been hit with dozens of false registrations purporting to come from Russia etc but from anonymous IP addresses in reality, and inviting all to buy watches and other less tastefu...

Hello Gary, The gunwhale was either Teak or maybe Afromosia and would look best in that timber, plastic fendering just looks tacky on proper boats! If you have a problem bending it into place get hold of half thickness timber and put 2 layers on, glueing together with epoxy, much stronger and easier...

Hello Ray, I have found her under the name Omrod and a reference to an advert in a 1996 magazine For Sale in Maylandsea, Essex. Any offers to a Brian Cox with a tele number, in Cambridgeshire! mail me at enquiries@eventides.org.uk if you want to try the number! Seems she was in a dire state then hav...

thinking about this one, the dates are often the launch dates, if a boat was sold for home fitting out the actual launch date may have been a few years down the line, which may explain the discrepancies.

Hello Angus, great to have you aboard, your dad is quite a character! I spoke to him a few days/weeks back when i had this enquiry and I hope Neville is now in touch, but if not this contact will do the trick. Eirene is bobbing about on her mooring in Bradwell creek at the moment, sadly though I do ...

Look at the other post re bilge keels They are not just there to assist drying out I can assure you. If you remove them be prepared to add weight internally at least 500lb and to accept the increased rolling and lessened windward ability. If you really want to go for speed, remove bilge plates and m...

The problem you will get with a half full tank will be condensation. When you run the motor the bleed back is hot, heating the tank, any air above the fuel in the tank will have water in it and now being warm will condense its water content against the sides of the tank, as they are cooler. That wat...
